history

The Vennmühle was an oil mill that was first named after a fire in 1473 and belonged to the property of St. Pantaleon. The mill was on the edge of the Laarer Bruch, in which peat was cut until the 19th century . It burned down again in 1750, but was rebuilt and came into the possession of the Printzen family from Amern in 1821 . They converted the mill into a paper mill in 1836 . In 1928 the Vennmühle burned down again. This third fire accident also meant the end of the mill. Between 1934 and 1942, the building served as a warehouse for the Reich Labor Service , which was involved in the Schwalm regulation . The main building now serves as a kindergarten .
